Brooklyn, NY/Toronto, ON indie pop/new wave duo The Dream Eaters return with their new album Year End Report. A collection of their singles from 2024 and 2025, framed as a tongue-in-cheek yearbook, the LP is a self-portrait of a band who thrives on bending reality, blending humour with tightly crafted indie pop, and turning the bizarre into something undeniably catchy. 

Year End Report is helmed by the gleefully outrageous lead single, “3D Printer” (Vagina Version). Equal parts electro-pop, synthwave, and surrealist humour, the song takes the band’s signature absurdism to a new high (or low, depending who you ask), imagining a future where 3D-printed vaginas are just another everyday convenience and turning that concept into a shimmering, danceable bop.

“We wrote ‘3D Printer’ in 2024 and made a social media video for it that used the lyric ‘I’m gonna 3D print your vagina with my 3D Printer,’” says Jake Zavracky (vocals/guitar/programming). “When we released it in 2025, we subbed in the word body instead of vagina. Our fans demanded the full vagina version, so here we are.”

From the heart of Toronto’s indie-rock scene, Cut Flowers emerge with “Until It’s Time” – a rollicking and heartfelt meditation on impermanence, regret, and making amends. Rooted in pastoral harmonies and driven by vibrant, live-off-the-floor energy, the song blends the ache of folk storytelling with the grit of vintage rock and soul.

“It’s a song about regretting not being there for people you love when they need you,” says vocalist Kevan Byrne. “And sort of trying to make amends before we die — saying this time I’ll be there for you, and will stay there until it’s time for me to go.”

Inspired by the timeless melancholy of 60s and 70s British folk and the raw earthiness of contemporary American folk-blues artists like Jake Xerxes Fussell, “Until It’s Time” finds its own space between promise and resignation.

Saskatchewan-born singer-songwriter Jeffery Straker shares A Very Prairie Christmas, a 12-song recording shaped by nearly a decade of his beloved annual holiday shows. Blending nostalgic classics, intimate arrangements, and Straker’s signature piano-driven storytelling, the album captures the way Christmas memories evolve while still holding their magic.

“When I was selecting these songs, I had the benefit of having performed my annual holiday show for nine years,” Straker explains. “Listeners enjoyed my originals, but it was clear that the classic Christmas tunes were important and needed to be included. Folks have so many memories attached to those songs. If there was a thought bubble over everyone’s head in the auditorium – with a little movie-of-memories playing while we performed – each song would be different for everyone.”
